I know the pain! Earlier this year, I sold $250 face of silver when it was $88/oz. I even told the dealer and another customer that I will...
Congrats, @Kentucky!!!
Incredible reverse toning! Too bad it wasn't on the obverse. I agree with @geekpryde that the obverse toning is a bit of a negative, for me, at...
So, John, how to you accommodate for those shadows? Add fill lights - maybe at 4:00 and 8:00, just not as intense as the other two? Or, just one...
Not all AI is created equal. Sometimes, you have to lead it to the best answer. Sometimes, you have to pit one against the other to get the best...
Is it worth it? Well, for me, maybe it is. Maybe some of the coins I only shoot with my phone. I'd like better photos of my nicer coins. I want to...
Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured this was going to be the standard response from most people. Was wondering if people had success shooting...
I would like to take "good" (loaded word, I know) photos of my coins. Ideally, all coins would be raw, not encased in anything. That would enable...
I know there are some experts out there who may not be willing to toot their own horns. Maybe I could have also asked, "Who do you consider to be...
I like your writeup! I feel akin to a lot of what you talked about, most especially the "I don't..." parts!
I remember the Appalachian Jefferson buzz! What was that, early 2000s? Of course, I could never afford any of those monster-toned nickels. I don't...
You bring up good points. We're all a little bit of an expert, in our own way. Friends and family who know I'm a coin collector might think I'm an...
I remember your story well. As of matter of fact, you even sent me a PDF of your article: "Third Barber Dime Reverse Hub Type" back in Jun 2019. I...
Where does one go to report "unique and unpublished" types/varieties? Can anyone tell us? I'm assuming it's different for Ancients vs US vs...
By "discovering new and interesting types", do you mean you have discovered types, or varieties, that have now been published as such (e.g. die...
You may possibly be a hoarder, like I've been all of my life!
I was just pondering my numismatic life, and am kind of embarrassed to admit that I really don’t know much about anything, numismatically! I’ve...
I'll throw my name in as proxy for @ElishaCollectsForever to get his first slabbed MS coin.
Congrats on 75K likes!!! That's amazing! BTW, not to toot my own horn, but I'm quickly closing in on 700 likes!!! :D
Just think if that was Obverse toned with the exact toning pattern, instead of Reverse! What would it sell for then??? Wow!
